You’ll Never Forget Your Visit To The Most Haunted Restaurant In New Jersey

New Jersey is home to quite a few haunted restaurants but at least one embraces that haunted history. Lake House Restaurant in Newfield is a beautiful eatery offering scenic views, delicious food and perhaps a paranormal experience. Even if you don’t spot a ghost, the food alone is to die for!

During these uncertain times, please keep safety in mind and consider adding destinations to your bucket list to visit at a later date.

Lake House Restaurant is located right on the lovely Iona Lake in Newfield.

You can score spectacular views of the lake from their heated patio or the Lake Lounge.

Formerly an inn and social gathering space, the Lake House Restaurant dates back to the early 1900s.

Legend has it that Al Capone once frequented the spot which may have served as a brothel and hosted an illegal fight club.

There was also a basement level speakeasy that operated during Prohibition - a haven for nefarious activities.

Over the years, several ghosts have been spotted at the site including a man named Victor and a woman in black, possibly an original owner.

In addition to supernatural spirits, you'll find spirits of another sort. Lake House is home to an exclusive craft beer - Ghost Story. The beer is being brewed in four chapters, each accompanied by a bit of haunted history.

Try Ghost Story: Part Three now along with a menu of American favorites including grilled salmon and filet mignon. There's also a nice selection of international cuisine including steak fajitas.

The Lake House Restaurant also offers live entertainment and occasional murder mystery dinners (the next will be held on May 10th). They are open for dinner Monday-Thursday and offer extended hours on the weekends. Monday night means Flights and Flatbreads; for $15, you can enjoy live music, three 2 1/2 ounce pours of any wine by the glass, a delicious flatbread and any bottle of wine to take home at 50% off. That deal’s so good, it’s almost scary! Visit them at: 611 Taylor Road, Newfield. For other haunted places in New Jersey, check out this haunted road with a spooky name.
